Astros: Final offer made to Beltran by Fanball Staff - Fanball.com Friday, January 7, 2005 News The Astros made one last attempt to re-sign free agent...
I don't believe the Yankees are in the running. It's a three team race between the Astros, Cubs and Mets. My gut feeling is that he resigns with Houston. jim...

It would be nice, and perhaps by the time you see this reply he will have. Three and a half hours to go, and he's still mulling his decision the AP says. But I...
The Yankees more or less pulled out of the race after the complications with Randy Johnson. Their payroll's going to exceed $200 mil. even without Beltran next...
I think they should go out after former White Sox outfielder Magglio Ordonez or try to get Shawn Green (I know there is no way to get him, but its worth a try)...

I've lost pretty much all respect for Beltran. The 'Stros offered him 105 mil and the Mets offered 7 mil more for the same number of years. 7 mil! Bagwell...
I can understand your feelings but he really owes us nothing. Whether it was stars in his eyes or some technical or personal issue it was his decision to make....

This week's Sports Weekly, as well as one from a little while back, says the Astros are in tralks about Cruz, Jr. Green's likely going to the Diamondbacks....
7 mil is a lot of money. I'd gladly move for 7 mil. I can't say that I blame Beltran for not staying in Houston. The place didn't bring him up through the...

Beltran is a total jerk who clearly strung the 'Stros all along ONLY for $$. The Mets? Everyone here who thinks the Mets will contend raise their hands! No...
I disagree...early reports on the bargaining has it that Beltran was going to take less money and go to Houston, but he wanted a full no trade clause in his ...
Totally disagree. Houston was smart not to cave to this demand. No-trade contracts should be banned. jim in indiana ... __________________________________ Do...
I agree with Jim - mostly. Agree no-trade contracts should be banned. But as long as they exist, if you wanna play, you gotta pay... If the 'Stros wanna...
Yeah, I do think they will contend. Should win at least 85 games with the changes they have made. They have a decent starting rotation now and pretty decent ...
If you don't want to offer no trade clauses in players contracts, make that known in November, not in January (during a trade deadline). Do not say that you...
Until we know all the details of what happened Saturday, we can only speculate. In my opinion, I think both Beltran and Drayton were pulling our legs. It...
